After fighting a bit with Gtk# widget styling and MonoDevelop tarball deployment, here is a new Zencomic.
Summary
Zencomic is the comic strip-driven productivity enhancer that periodically makes your day funnier by showing comic like Dilbert or XKCD in a bubble.
What’s new aka The Cool Stuff ™
New, window-based, popup
Tired of having some comic showing far too small ? This is for you !
Now, if you go to the preference dialog, you will be able to switch to a window-based popup which shows your comics in all their greatness at the expense of taking more window space and making your boss, who was incidentally passing by, angry at you (in that case, a quick click on the popup will close it).
Can I haz lolcats ?
Lolcat greatness is here with the addition of a new addin :
The remaining
- For the Gnome Do junkie, Zencomic now correctly comes with a .desktop file so that you can launch it from there
- Made the preference dialog show in a little saner way i.e. by coming up directly at the front (which apparently wasn’t the case with some WM).
- The traditional round of bugfixes (should you still spot one don’t hesitate to manifest in the comments)

Tarball : http://netherilshade.free.fr/mono/zencomic-0.2.1.tar.gz
If by any chance you feel this is an application that should come in your distribution, don’t hesitate to contribute some packages

Where can I find the repository (git/svn/etc)? I’d like to provide a patch or two.

just a few thinks:
- On the comic-tab is only a button to manage the addins, maybe you could integrate the addins-window into the « comics » tab, or integrate the addin-button to General.
- By « window » mode it would be great to choose a corner for the popup.
- In the Window it would be great to have an copy-button to copy the location of the image into the clipboard
Thanks for the feedback folks. I’m putting that stuff on my TODO.
@Matthew: I’m going to open something soon on github. EDIT: here you go http://github.com/garuma/Zencomic/tree/master
